Bullshift: How Collective Misbeliefs Shape Our Thinking

By CE Corner

This course explores how collective misbeliefs influence advisor behaviour and decision-making in capital markets. Blending insights from behavioural economics and social psychology, it examines how optimism bias, group conformity, and motivated reasoning can override critical thinking—especially in an environment where evidence points to elevated market risks.

Advisors will learn to recognize the psychological traps that foster herding and develop strategies to counter misinformation and make more evidence-based decisions.
